Health Notes

Disclaimer:
This scientific independent research is provided by Aisle7 and is for informational use only. GNC provides this information as a service but does not endorse it. Likewise, Aisle7 does not recommend or endorse any specific products.

For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.

For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Green tea has been shown to lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels according to several preliminary and controlled trials.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 However, not all trials have found that green tea intake lowers lipid levels.7 Much of the research documenting the health benefits of green tea is based on the amount of green tea typically drunk in Asian countries-about three cups per day, providing 240 to 320 mg of polyphenols.

Dose: 75 mg of theaflavins, 150 mg of green tea catechins, and 150 mg of other tea polyphenols dailyAn extract of green tea, enriched with a compound present in black tea (theaflavins), has been found to lower serum cholesterol in a double-blind study of people with moderately high cholesterol levels. The average reduction in total serum cholesterol during the 12-week study was 11.3%, and the average reduction in LDL cholesterol was 16.4%. The extract used in this study provided daily 75 mg of theaflavins, 150 mg of green tea catechins, and 150 mg of other tea polyphenols.

Intake of three cups or less of green tea daily has been shown not to affect blood triglyceride levels.1 Intake of four or more cups per day has been correlated with lower triglyceride levels.2 Overall, the evidence is unclear on how much of an effect high levels of intake of green tea has on triglyceride levels.

Green tea(Camellia sinensis) contains polyphenols that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, and animal and preliminary human studies have suggested that these polyphenols, when given orally or used topically, can protect skin against ultraviolet rays.1, 2, 3, 4 In a small, controlled human study, topical application of green tea extracts containing from 2.5 to 10% polyphenols significantly reduced the amount of burning from exposure to ultraviolet rays, with the 10% solution exerting greater protective effect.5

Dose: Gargle with a liquid extract containing 200 mcg per ml three times per day

In a preliminary study of elderly nursing home residents in Japan, only 1.3% of those who gargled with a green tea extract three times a day during the winter developed influenza, whereas 10.4% of those who gargled without the green tea extract developed the disease (a statistically significant difference). The presumed active ingredients in the extract were a group of flavonoids called catechins, which were present in the extract at half the concentration as that in green tea.1 It is possible, therefore, that gargling with green tea itself might also be effective for preventing the flu.

In a double-blind study of healthcare workers, the combination of 378 mg per day green tea catechins and 210 mg per day of theanine (another component of green tea) taken for 5 months reduced the incidence of influenza infection by 69%, when compared with a placebo.2

Dose: Refer to label instructionsGreen tea has stimulated production of immune cells and has shown anti-bacterial properties in animal studies.1, 2, 3 More research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of green tea in protecting against infection and other immune system-related diseases.

Dose: An extract supplying 270 mg of EGCG and 150 mg of caffeine per day

Green tea extract rich in polyphenols (epigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG) may support a weight-loss program by increasing energy expenditure or by inhibiting the digestion of fat in the intestine.1 Healthy young men who took two green tea capsules (containing a total of 50 mg of caffeine and 90 mg of EGCG) three times a day burned significantly more calories and oxidized significantly more fat than those who took caffeine alone or a placebo. In a preliminary study of moderately obese individuals, administration of a specific green tea extract (AR25) resulted in a 4.6% reduction in average body weight after 12 weeks. The amount of green tea extract used in this study supplied daily 270 mg of EGCG and 150 mg of caffeine.

While caffeine is known to stimulate metabolism, it appears that other substances besides caffeine were responsible for at least part of the weight loss. Although the extract produced few side effects, one individual developed abnormal liver function tests during the study. In another study, consuming approximately 12 ounces of oolong tea (a semifermented version of green tea) daily for 12 weeks reduced waist circumference and the amount of body fat in a group of normal-weight to overweight men. However, in another study, 300 mg per day of EGCG was no more effective than a placebo for promoting weight loss in overweight postmenopausal women.2 Additional studies are needed to confirm the safety and effectiveness of green tea extracts for promoting weight loss.

Dose: Several cups per day (enough to provide 600 mg of catechins daily)
In a double-blind trial, men with precancerous changes in the prostate received a green tea extract providing 600 mg of catechins per day or a placebo for one year. After one year, prostate cancer had developed in 3.3% of the men receiving the green tea extract and in 30% of those given the placebo, a statistically significant difference.1 These results suggest that drinking green tea or taking green tea catechins may help prevent prostate cancer in men at high risk of developing the disease.

Two components of green tea, the polyphenols epigallocatechin (EGC) and epicatechin gallate (ECG),1 are reported to have an antihistamine effect. Some doctors recommend approximately 3 cups of green tea per day or about 3 grams of soluble components providing roughly 240 to 320 mg of polyphenols, although no human trials have studied the effects of green tea in people with hives.

Tannin-containing herbs may be helpful to decrease diarrhea during acute flare-ups and have been used for this purpose in traditional medicine. A preliminary trial using isolated tannins in the course of usual drug therapy for Crohn's disease found them to be more effective for reducing diarrhea than was no additional treatment.1 Tannin-containing herbs of potential benefit include agrimony (Agrimonia spp.), green tea, oak, witch hazel, and cranesbill. Use of such herbs should be discontinued before the diarrhea is completely resolved; otherwise the disease may be aggravated.

Dose: 3 grams daily of a combination of whole green tea, green tea polyphenols, and green tea pigments, along with painting the mixture on the lesions three times per day

In a double-blind trial, people with leukoplakia took 3 grams per day of a mixture of whole green tea, green tea polyphenols, and green tea pigments orally and also painted the mixture of the tea on their lesions three times per day for six months.1 Those in the green tea group had significant improvement in the healing of their lesions.

Dose: Twice weekly, apply a cream with 15% polyphenols to the cervix and/or take a 200 mg EGCG supplement daily

In a preliminary study, women with cervical dysplasia were randomly assigned to receive either 200 mg per day of EGCG-a green tea extract known as (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate-200 mg per day of poly E (another green tea extract), or no treatment (control group) for 8 to 12 weeks. More than 50% of the women receiving EGCG or poly E had an improvement in their Pap smear, compared with only 10% of the women in the control group.1

Parts Used & Where Grown

All teas (green, black, and oolong) are derived from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The difference is in how the plucked leaves are prepared. Green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented, so the active constituents remain unaltered in the herb. The leaves of the tea plant are used both as a social and a medicinal beverage.

For many of the conditions discussed, treatment with prescription or over the counter medication is also available.

I use Superfood everyday, the only con that I have is the taste, when used in plain water. If used in orange juice or apple juice, it tastes a lot better. I have noticed regular bowel movements, more energy, better moods and a lower weight (not rapid or laxative type). It may be just by coincidence, but I noticed these changes about 1 week after starting the Green Superfood. My nutritionist looked over the ingredients and looked more into it, and she stated "...all natural and real ingredients, can't go wrong there...". I feel really good using this product.

The taste can be better, but I love the energy and how it has helped my immune system. I get sick often with the cold and ever since I've been drinking this every morning its been a long time. I drink it just with water I got used to the taste I have replaced my coffee habit with this product.

Honestly I didn't like it alone in water and I didn't like it in orange juice or a strawberry blended smoothie or a nutriblast made in my nutribullet but I find it compatible with the juice by Bolthouse Farms Mango Ginger and Carrot blend.

I see others don't like the taste: I do, very much! I usually just mix it in a little water, or add it to a smoothie or even a vanilla shake. Another trick is to cut up a raw cauliflower head into popcorn-size pieces and shake it with a couple of scoops of the greens and 4-8 Tbsp of nutritional yeast in a brown paper bag for a very tasty and healthy snack! No matter how you take it, this product is great value for the money, and I have used it daily for over three years with no problems or dissatisfaction.

I pride myself on being able to eat pretty much anything that is good for me regardless of taste. I usually say something along the lines of "I would probably eat gravel if it was good for me."

So with that being said, I had to give it only 3 stars for the overpowering taste. THIS stuff deeeeefinitely tastes like grass. It's a VERY strong taste, overpowering whatever I put it in to. Coming from a person who would probably eat grass, I have to say that it's sort of hard to get down.

I've been trying to mix it in with my daily smoothies, and I think that's my mistake. It makes the smoothie taste like grass, even with vanilla protein powder and berries in it. It's just a very strong flavor - that's really all I can say about it right now hahaah.

So I will continue to use it, as it's got a wide variety of nutrients that I am consuming for health reasons. But I think the best way to get this down is in a "shot" form, which I will be trying from now on.

I got this product because of a smoothie receipe I read online. I thought I would try it to add more to my morning smothies. Big mistake. This stuff tastes and smells terrible. I do not recommend it at all. I love vegetables and leafy greens, but this is not fresh or worth the money. I recommend if your like me and love breakfast smoothies to add fresh leafy vegetables, like kale, into your smoothies and get the benefits of the food that way. It tastes so much better.

I love this stuff! My doctor is always giving me the "look" because she knows I don't get my full daily allowance of fruits and veggies. She was very happy when I told her I started taking this every morning. I throw it in the blended with some fat free Oikos Vanilla Greek yogurt and Almond milk to make a breakfast smoothie. This is a great way to start off your day.

Today is my first day using Green SuperFood in Powder form. I had tried other Green powder but didn't like the taste. This one has a little nutty taste to it not much of grassy taste. Like it much better! I blended with strawberry banana juice. It's only my first day and I notice the difference in my digestion. I have IBS and mostly feel bloated, gassy, and constipation. It's helping so far. I will definitely continue to use this product!

As a disabled individual, I have learned that using natural supplements, vitamins, and minerals, along with a vegetarian diet have helped me tremendously. I don't want to go a day without my "green" drink!
